I went to eat Mexican food a few weeks ago, and there was this WHOLE DARN table smacking away. Mother, apparently a grandma, and then two kids ~ Right across from us. I swear it took all I had not to say something, or go bazerk. The harder I tried to ignore it, the worse it was smacking, talking, chips flying. Oh man was it nasty.

I think it is because I have been teaching Sp. Ed for 26 years, but I don't like being around kids when I am not at work. I actually cringe and walk away from them. Any age, any place...even the well behaved ones.

We went to a beach in Wildwood, NJ (very family oriented place) and in every restaurant, I politely told the hostess: "Do not sit us near children of any age. I swear, I will kill them."

OMG!! I'm totally with you on this. It drives me nuts. I've been known to give people the evil eye that I don't even know. My kids are so trained that I just have to look at them and they know. Teeth are my other pet peeve - please, have a whole set, at least in the front.

Oh, hell ya!

Never make someone a priority in your life when that someone treats you like an option.

Off topic ~ but I constantly run into a woman that I met years ago, she's young and NEVER wears her false teeth. It's horrible, I seen her in Wal-Mart and I was shocked that she didn't even have them in. I mean leave them out at home, but for the love of god (not to mention your husband!) put them in IN PUBLIC!!

Ooh the worst is having to sit on the bus for 30 minutes with an dirty old toothless man cleaning his gums/teeth making sucking noises the whole time... Arrgh.
People that smell like old pee annoy me, too, but who isn't annoyed by them.

I'd be really embarrassed to tell you how many surgeries, bone grafting and thousands of dollars I've been going through for the last 2 years to do just that. But I don't want the kind you can take out for a trip to Walmart!

Why be embarrassed, you're taking care of yourself. Heck, half my mouth is crowns and just the other day I was in the chair for over 3 hours!! Just think how great they're gonna look when you're done.

I am with you on THAT. I love my students, and when they leave to go to high school I even give them my number in case they run into trouble...

But when I go out to dinner, or shopping...teenagers drive me INSANE. Paul and are always rolling our eyes in that "I hate teenagers" way that we remember other people doing to us ten years ago.

my secret...i dont know if i have a good one..people make me angry and i dont like them at alll...even though i work as a waitress im around them all the time I'm surprised i haven't decked someone yet...
i dont make that much money but the money i have left over goes to my pupster:) she is spoiled...OOOO I KNOW! i got Delilah because all my friends (no longer friends) were getting knocked up and i wanted a baby so i bought my baby Delilah:) I'm gonna be a crazy dog lady i dont want kids till i grow up in about 10 years...
